With players wearing number 42 on their helmets and Robinson’s iconic number 42 painted onto the Rose Bowl field, UCLA made the announcement between the first and second quarters of the annual crosstown rivalry football game.

UCLA announced today it is naming 22 recreation and athletics facilities in honor of Jackie Robinson, the legendary four-sport Bruin star who went on to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball.

This year Jackie Robinson’s autobiography, “I Never Had It Made,” is being read by thousands of incoming freshman and transfer students, faculty, staff and alumni as part of the six-year-old UCLA Common Book program.
